Foreign investors are returning to rupee-denominated bonds as India’s inclusion in JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s emerging-market debt index approaches.
Overseas investors bought about $358 million of bonds on Monday, the most in two months and a seventh successive day of purchases, data compiled by Bloomberg show. That took net purchases for May to $709 million after $1.9 billion of sales in April amid a global risk-off that spurred outflows from emerging markets.
